The Elephant In The Room

[@cameroncarter6523]

I think its fair to be both critical and appreciative of Miller. The feel good story aside, if a starting QB at a major college was 5-5 his first ten games as a starter with 10 interceptions (2 fumbles, both recovered by the offense) and critical mistakes in "winning time" of ball games, a change would be needed. Has Miller handled adversity well and given the team a chance to win in every game? Absolutely. Has Miller made mistakes that can be pointed at why the team lost? Yes. The fault lies with Lincoln as well in terms of time management, but a coach can't be blamed for a pick six against Michigan, a high ball to Duce when they have a chance to kick a field goal to beat Penn State and throwing an interception against Washington when you have the chance to go up two scores going into the 4th quarter. Who knows if Miller's time at SC is done, but someone will pick him up and be of value, a more pro style system, Fight On!

[@fredtheveteran4623]

I hope we get Longstreet! LR needs to lock down some Bosco and Mater Dei recruits and the rest of California too! I believe JuJu is going to Colorado

[@SuperJuggerNog]

Oregon owns California, specifically mater dei and bosco. Look elsewhere.

[@fredtheveteran4623]

@SuperJuggerNog Fuck looking elsewhere this is our State! Oregon can recruit their own FUCKING state! That's the only way that they can win is with our kid's! They're still not going to win Shit!

[@htvlogs80]

It’s so difficult recruiting now that NIL is in the picture.

[@fredtheveteran4623]

@htvlogs80 yeah we know Oregon is just buying our kids! Who the Fuck wants to live in Oregon?

[@mr.millionaire4570]

Is Longstreet even visiting or even interested???

[@bartwilloughby2909]

This Bye was needed more for the SC fans than the players .

[@pocket1684]

haha, to forget about all the losses?

[@testname9121]

It makes sense for Miller Moss to go to Michigan or Stanford. I will Miller the best wherever he goes -- best wishes and best of luck to you, Miller!

[@Ghosted760]

Julian Lewis can go to Colorado, Indiana, Hawaii, Idaho or whatever... he really isn't built for B1G play. **I hope we get Husan Longstreet, followed by Ryder Lyons.**

[@SC17KB]

I like Ryder Lyons

[@danberman6848]

Marc Let’s get real. Riley screwed Moss this season . He did nothing to help him . Didn’t run the ball more often as he should have . In addition giving Joyner carries , all for a balanced offense. Didn’t have JM come in for packages . Terrible clock management. No imagination in the play calling . All these things really hurt Moss to where in many games he was runningfor his life . Causing him to have bad reads and interceptions. Being forced to try and do too much . When they ran the ball more, it opened up the pass game . So I feel bad for Moss . He deserved so much more after all he did for the team . We will not be getting top recruits eg QBs unless we over pay , because it Of the shit show this year . Inexcusable. His arrogance of not paying transfer portal players this year is not only costing us this year but now 2025. The fan base said this when they got almost no one on the lines from the transfer portal . Top that off with Lincoln’s terrible coaching this year . All true but sad . Fight on my friend !

[@traxiii]

Your are correct, this whole thing is 100% on the Head Coach and his mismanagement of the offense. FTFO!✌

[@Jaime-u5m]

The "Elephant in the Room" is none other than riley, and nothing can be done about it. Our pink Elephant has qualified immunity. Even El President couldn't tell him, "YOU'RE FIRED"!!! Must be nice,,,.

[@charlesmiller2341]

Absolutely, the fault lies in CLR not in MM . Riley is paid to win , not paid to win only if he has the best QB in the country, which he DID and still lost. He should develop strategy and game plan around the players he has , not with what he wishes to have. No special teams coach , no creative offensive strategy, an abandonment of the run and last year he knew how vulnerable the defense was and did nothing until the pressure was just so intense like now. WE will see in the next 3 weeks if Jayden Maiava can save CLR or if he still needs a more elite QB . I truly wish Jayden the best, but we must look to the root cause of this failure otherwise Jayden will suffer the same fate.

[@bigsaga1]

Yes

[@Trojanmanno1]

Not ok with the direction this sport is going! It'll end up being the same teams who pay the most, year after year. No organically 'grown' and nurtured teams anymore. Nobody really sticks around. No program loyalty. No comraderie. Just a bunch of guys looking to cash in now, cuz many of them won't be playing in the NFL, and so I get it on that one level. But beyond that, it's just hard for me to get all that excited about college football like I used to be. I hope something is done to dial this system back, but not likely.

[@FredVlasuk]

The donor who contributed 50M to the new football facility will have to donate unfortunately because that was an incredible amount which shows he really cares and is invested in the program. But he will have to invest more money into the NIL program also. Because if not, we will continue to fall behind Oregon and Ohio St, Mississippi, Texas, etc, etc..Its the way it is now.. And ps, I'm not exactly thrilled that USC is 15th in the Big 10. We are in the LOWEST position of any of the Pac12 entrants.. Let that sink in...

[@ernestogalvan-ib7bt]

Longstreet please. Juju, doesn’t fit our culture.

[@johnm2617]

A good player or Athlete! Is just that ! Culture?

[@patrickwelch1010]

Sign of the times. Rumors, more rumors nothing out of the ordinary . Anything can happen . Anything . Marc , always bring your common sense and life long experience . Most of these fans need your guidance .

[@Sbannmarie]

Amen brother! ✌️

[@lloydcady7231]

Sorry but I’m not a Miller Moss fan his interceptions have helped contribute to the USC losses.

[@mykedeuce9748]

Best of luck to Miller Moss on his next journey. He deserves to play for a coach who likes winning.

[@OneLuv777]

The real elephant in the room is Josh Henson he has to go he is not the guy for our Oline which is why our Oline play has been so bad since Lincoln has arrived at USC need I remind you that Caleb was running for his life just creating plays with his feet cuz his line was always breaking down and allowing alot of pressure Caleb didn't see a lot of clean pockets which is why he was always throwing on the move or rinning. Get us a elite Oline coach that can get us five star recruits then develop them so we can be the elite offense you need and should be.

[@superluminal89]

Michigan is the perfect place for Miller.

[@RSeaker]

Yep. Maybe Sooners, Noles, Irish, Aggies, even the Boilermakers. A lot of teams can improve with a decent QB.

[@EMTWes]

I love the video’s but if I can make one change it would be for the audio to be a bit higher. I feel some videos are very low volume even when I have it on max . Once again thanks for all the content I appreciate you!!

[@LockedOnUSC]

Noted!❤

[@drbuckley1]

If we're going NFL, then programs should have NIL caps, Marc.

[@janremongalura5713]

More like performance based contracts.

[@ironwill1362]

Question: What do you think happens to Riley if UCLA beats them??

[@alexalonso2093]

..Oooman normally he’d be gone. But $70 mil says he stays 🥸🤡🤣

[@Trojanmanno1]

As usual, another excellent report. Thanks Marc. Keep up the good work!!

[@htvlogs80]

Moss is just an average QB, a decent backup QB. He’s smart, got the IQ, I can see Moss one day being like a coordinator, def not NFL material. He’s not athletic and doesn’t have the arm strength &’he’s too small.

[@dannylavilla4018]

So the rumor Moss possibility to Michigan. What happened to competition, no heart .

[@LockedOnUSC]

It’s nothing but a rumor but it’s something that we have to be concerned with once the season ends. That’s the elephant in the room.

[@mattsombrano3786]

The Trojans basketball team won their 2nd game in a row...St Thomas their power forward had 9 assist at the half and hit the game winning 3 pointer.... Musselman has put together an impressive team... We have an exciting season ahead!!!!

[@LockedOnUSC]

😎✌🏼❤️ Still a lot to work on going forward. But I like what I’m seeing early.

[@bigtee4690]

I wish Miller the best going forward. I believe he would have had a difficult time holding on to the QB1spot coming out of the spring so I figured he would transfer post spring ball. JuJu Lewis is making LR and USC look week and desperate in my opinion. It is way past time to move on to a 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ QB that is a local kid that wants to be a Trojan - HUSAN LONGSTREET. Enoughof watching this kid play games.

[@NiechZyjePolska48]

Is there any chance USC finishes in the top 10? I mean in the conference?

[@bartwilloughby2909]

Thank you for being Honest Mark .?

[@OneLuv777]

Please pass on Juju and go get Husan Longstreet. Let him sit a season behind Jayden and we xould possibly have our next 2 Heisman winners i think Jayden is rhat good.

[@charleshallam9971]

College sports are definitely going the wrong way

[@hughobrien4139]

I feel the same. The current system makes for dense fog setting in.

[@alexalonso2093]

Mmm.. growing pains for sure.. let’s keep it real. It’s minor league sports pros. Will there be quality control? In terms of nil etc depends how much those in power ie in control will take . It’s pro sports now no turning back 🫵🏻😎🍺🎲

[@DuckyBent]

Go Moss, do your thang, you owe nothing to anyone but yourself and will always be a ✌🏼

[@RJ_Focused]

Michigan will be a good fit for Miller. The proof of concept means nothing until USC gets better trench talent. No sense in complaining about what college sports had turned to. The game became about money when television contests, million dollar coaches , and administrations came into existences

[@Trojanmanno1]

Love robin hood gold!!!!! Buy gold and silver if you can afford to.

[@whousefilms]

I think schools should pay players at the end of the year based on performance and not to sign. I know this goes against the grain but when you have a player like Bear Alexander which has been disappointment.

[@avs9800]

There needs to a cap in NIL. It’s working very well for Oregon and Georgia. SC needs to decide if they want to compete with those schools or just let everyone know they want to be San Diego St.

[@alexalonso2093]

Truth hurts..👀

[@mykedeuce9748]

I don't think NIL is our biggest issue. We have a talented (player)roster and have been Winning EVERY game we lost going into the 4th quarter. Our problem is the badminton coach from Sister Mary's school of the Blind POSING as our head football coach. And the people with the power to change that are just whistling with their hands in their pockets. We won't win another game this year and that HURTS to say.

[@Trojan_in_Hawaii]

And NO RENEGOTIATING! FIGHT ON!!!✌️✌️✌️

[@asianwoof]

I'm all for waiting to see how good Maiava is before going all in on Lewis. The whole recruiting strategy shifts if he wins out, IMO, so let's see those legs and that arm in action, yeah?

[@AK31029]

You guys should appreciate what Coach Riley has done for you. He gave you a heisman and he will bring in another QB with the potencial like Caleb ( former OU QB).

[@williamsequeira1163]

M would be a great move for Miller, He's gone about as far as he can go at USC. This would make great sense.

[@ramspencer5492]

I just assume Miller Moss will be jumping in the transfer portal. I think him bring a scape goat got USC 's woes is really messed up. Got most of the strain he was one of brighter spots on the team.

[@TrojansFirst]

I hope we offer Longstreet!

[@matthewfrueh5699]

Miller Moss didn’t fail the team, the coaches failed him. This QB change does not address or solve the fundamental issues with this program.

[@Jaime-u5m]

It would be wise to slip in an "my bad" for having over-slept when you visited/played at my home, to Bosco and Dei. Please let's go Longstreet's way, let the Primadona Jo-Jo away. We're going 4 and O for the rest of this year, you'll see,,,,.

[@SuperMaxx1234]

What's with the assistant coaches controversy???

[@antoniopana45]

One easy one is OL coach Henson at USC he should be bringing in Elite OL talent (at least 2 a year), top 5 programs bring in 3 or more.

[@SuperMaxx1234]

Ok. I knew that. I thought it might have been something else. Thanks

[@brotherdave26]

So long Miller Moss that Michigan cold is no joke.

[@nathanmccreery914]

Reading we are on probation AGAIN, I get the feeling we are being micro watched by NCAA.

[@bartwilloughby2909]

Miller had his chance , Let him Go ➡️

[@raymonXpierce]

miller moss is transfering to michigan, word on the street! USC-J confirms

[@BrooklynEwms32LAKERS]

It's Sad that it had to come down to Moss losing his Job...But it's partially Moss fault but Mostly fault belongs to "Goober" Riley...

[@brotherdave26]

15 of the 32 NFL teams have Black QBs. That says a lot about the direction of the league.

[@jasonn7431]

Riley needs to keep the cali recurits. We grew up huge SC fans. Not to even be recurited by SC sucks. 😢

[@TheForgottenMan270]

I'm actually hoping Moss jumps ship. The supposed QB "guru" was supposed to develop Moss, but he never did. Moss's woes were existent against Louisville and I figured Riley would develop him in the off-season, but he never did. Remember, Riley had Caleb last season and all he could do is muster a 7-5 record. That much talent and that's all Riley could get out of his team? Sure the defense was bad, but that offense looked abysmal, so it just wasn't the defense. So Riley failed in coaching. Sorry, but Riley is a fraud, and he was simply a benefactor of certain QBs that allowed him to look good. Without those certain QBs Riley is just an average coach at best and we're witnessing it. Riley is a Ferrari with a wheel cage and a squirrel as it's engine. Looks pretty and nice, and when you really need that boost of power it never comes.

[@johnteill_]

What if he went to Norte Dame

[@brotherdave26]

Hassan Longstreet is 🔥 get him please Lincoln Riley

[@richardgraham4161]

Look at QB deals in the NFL. Same thing will happen in college.

[@trojangameplan2641]

If he transfers at all... Stanford makes more sense. He won't want to play against USC

[@michellekalosi9883]

Well we can complain all day he's the coach and with all the games we lost is not entirely Millers fault, some parts of it it's his, but OL and LR playing calling is horrible, the OL can't block to help Miller out, let's see what Maiava can do fight On Trojan Faithful

[@guysmithson1835]

Yes nil has ruin it. Can work if rules put in place like a cap.

[@roderickforeman7917]

C’mon y’all it is what it is, our focus is to be bowl eligible with a quickness

[@dannyboy277]

Like Moss, was hoping for the best but he isn’t NFL material. He’s the slowest running qb I’ve seen in 20 years.

[@CIip_Up]

If I was juju, I would def go to CU vs. going to the dumpster fire that is, usc and stinkin riley. 2-5 in conference is horrendous. Less than .5oo overall is comical 😂

[@Trojan_in_Hawaii]

Time for JuJu to poop or get off the pot. We have enough options and leverage to give him an ultimatum.

[@Gary-o6x]

Marc.. I never miss a episode of Lock on USC.. And I think of you as family.. and, not only family but, a friend in deed..

[@LockedOnUSC]

@@Gary-o6x 😎❤️✌🏼🙏

[@FredVlasuk]

Of course he's going to transfer! He's going to Michigan. He will come back to the Coliseum next year as a Wolverine and stick it to us. You know that's gonna happen..And he'll give all the SC fans that wanted him out a big f you salute! Mark it down..

[@whousefilms]

Miller Moss to the transfer portal is sad because he is a good QB.

[@Lubedtrojans95]

I doubt he's leaving, but we'll sack him and pick him off at Michigan.

[@CIip_Up]

Usc is def not winning the last 3 games. I could see them easily losing 2 if not all 3

[@blackcatgypsiesshonny]

He wouldn't be the starter at UCLA, their QB can throw and run, Miller a stiff!

[@Gods-Ambassador]

Elephant in the room how come you guys scared to address Lynn sucks. Malloe is calling great games with a bare cupboard plucked the wrong one

[@OliverBarganier]

The truth of the matter here, is that USC hire Lincoln Riley for a long term real program rebuild. What people are missing, is hearing some hard truth. USC at this time is nowhere near a playoff team in any fashion but it's building is a program that's ready to play in any dam conference. USC isn't in the the okay every once and a while we make the playoffs but we're in these playoffs talk deep every Year. What's needed and what Lincoln Riley assessment of its program today where it was. Bottom line it was old and outdated to the point that we don't want to even change to new uniforms, knowing that the young generation is in to that look and it does attract youngsters to it. Well for two years now Lincoln Riley has had to it the portal for D lineman and offensive line men because we had nothing to bragg about. Yet in year two we have fools Running around talking playoffs and a national championships already. Hell USC has a recruiting problem so dam bad it's hadn't had a 5 star or 5 star offensive line men or a D lineman. Every top recruit has chosen to leave town and I mean lead town. It's so bad the trust factor in development here in Southern California, that we have California kids going to live in the dam south. When have you ever seen California kid leaving the big to go live in a dam fish pond. Sounds crazy but it's not, there doing it. Clay Helton killed our recruiting in California so dam bad that 75% of our children are leaving very, very good universities in the whole dam state. Now the good part about that Lincoln Riley was one of them coaches that our California recruits love playing for but not in California. It seems. Yet give him time to show them that am the same coach that got you to the draft from Oklahoma. He's slowly but surely winning that battle, it takes time. Hell the recruiting problem is not a Lincoln Riley created problem. Hell it was here when he got here. People this is a long term rebuild not a bullshit rebuild. Hell their building all new top of the line facilities for Lincoln Riley. People and hater's, USC hired Lincoln Riley for the long haul. Go on KZbin and look up the new USC football facilities that will be state of the art!!!! Fight on and give it time. Lincoln Riley recruited well from Oklahoma, it's just our children have lost trust in USC, people it has to be earned back, thank you, some hard truth
